PicoScope® 2000 Series Ultra-compact PC oscilloscopes The compact alternative to a benchtop oscilloscope 2 or 4 analog channels MSO models with 16 digital channels Up to 100 MHz bandwidth Up to 1 GS/s sampling rate Up to 128 MS capture memory Built-in arbitrary waveform generator USB-connected and powered www.picotech.com Introducing the PicoScope 2000 Series Advanced oscilloscope display The PicoScope 2000 Series offers you a choice of 2-channel and 4-channel The PicoScope 6 software takes advantage of the display size, resolution and oscilloscopes, plus mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) with 2 analog + 16 digital processing power of your PC – in this case displaying four analog signals, a zoomed inputs. All models feature a spectrum analyzer, function generator, arbitrary waveform view of two of the signals (undergoing serial decoding), and a spectrum view of a generator and serial bus analyzer, and the MSO models also include a logic analyzer. third, all at the same time. Unlike a conventional benchtop oscilloscope, the size of the display is limited only by the size of your computer monitor. The software is also easy The PicoScope 2000A models all deliver unbeatable value for money, with excellent to use on touch-screen devices – you can pinch to zoom and drag to scroll. waveform visualization and measurement to 25 MHz for a range of analog and digital electronic and embedded system applications. They are ideal for education, hobby and field service use. The PicoScope 2000B models have the added benefits of deep memory (up to 128 MS), higher bandwidth (up to 100 MHz) and faster waveform update rates, giving you the performance you need to carry out advanced analysis of your waveform, including serial decoding and plotting frequency against time. 2-channel oscilloscope: 2204A and 2205A 4-channel oscilloscope 2-channel oscilloscope: 2206B, 2207B and 2208B 2+16-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO) PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Powerful, portable and super-small Fast sampling The PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes are compact enough to fit easily into your The PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes provide fast real-time sampling rates of up laptop bag along with all their probes and leads. These modern alternatives to bulky to 1 GS/s on the analog channels. This represents a timing resolution of 1 ns. benchtop devices are ideal for a wide range of applications including design, test, For repetitive analog signals, equivalent-time sampling (ETS) mode can boost the education, service, monitoring, fault-finding and repair, and are perfect for engineers on maximum effective sampling rate up to 10 GS/s, allowing even finer resolution down the move. to 100 ps. All scopes support pre-trigger and post-trigger capture using the full memory depth. High-end features as standard Buying a PicoScope is not like making a purchase from other oscilloscope companies, where increased functionality can considerably raise the price. PicoScopes are all- inclusive instruments, with no need for expensive upgrades to unlock the hardware. Other advanced features such as resolution enhancement, mask limit testing, serial decoding, advanced triggering, automatic measurements, math channels (including the ability to plot frequency and duty cycle against time), XY mode and segmented memory are all included in the price. USB connectivity The USB connection makes printing, copying, saving, and emailing your data from the field quick and easy. The high-speed USB interface allows fast data transfer, while USB powering removes High signal integrity the need to carry around a bulky external power supply. At Pico Technology we’re proud of the dynamic performance of our products. Careful front-end design and shielding reduce noise, crosstalk and harmonic distortion. Decades of oscilloscope design experience can be seen in improved pulse response Flexibility and bandwidth flatness. The PicoScope software offers a breadth of advanced features with a user-friendly The result is simple: when you probe a circuit, you can trust in the waveform you see on interface. As well as the standard Windows installation, PicoScope Beta software also the screen. works effectively on Linux and macOS operating systems, giving you the freedom to operate your PicoScope from your chosen platform. Unique commitment to product support Your PicoScope gets better the longer you use it, thanks to the regular free updates we supply for both the PC software and the oscilloscope firmware throughout the life of the product. The performance and functionality of the scope both keep improving, without you paying a penny more than the purchase price. This level of support, combined with the personal service provided by our technical and sales support teams, is reflected in consistently excellent customer feedback. PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Deep capture memory PicoScope 2000 Series ‘B’ models have waveform capture buffers ranging from 32 to 128 megasamples – many times larger than competing scopes. Deep memory enables the capture of long-duration waveforms at maximum sampling speed. In fact, some PicoScope 2000 Series models can capture 100 ms waveforms with 1 ns resolution. In contrast, the same 100 ms waveform captured by an oscilloscope with a 10 megasample memory would have just 10 ns resolution. Deep memory can be useful in other ways too: PicoScope 6 lets you divide the capture memory into a number of segments, up to a maximum of 10 000. You can set up a trigger condition to store a separate capture in each segment, with as little as 1 µs dead time between captures. Once you have acquired the data, you can step through the memory one segment at a time until you find the event you are looking for. Powerful tools are included to allow you to manage and examine all of this data. As well as functions such as mask limit testing and color persistence mode, the PicoScope 6 software enables you to zoom into your waveform by a factor of several million. The Zoom Overview window allows you to easily control the size and location of the zoom area. Other tools, such as the waveform buffer, serial decoding and hardware acceleration work with the deep memory, making the PicoScope 2000 Series some of the best-value oscilloscopes on the market. PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes PicoScope 6 software The PicoScope software display can be as basic or as detailed as you need. Begin with a single view of one channel, and then expand the display to include up to four live channels (model-dependent), plus math channels and reference waveforms. Display multiple scope and spectrum views with automatic or custom layouts and quickly access all the most frequently-used controls from the toolbars, leaving the display clear for your waveforms.

PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes Mixed digital and analog signals The PicoScope 2000 MSO models add 16 digital channels to their two analog channels, enabling you to accurately time-correlate analog and digital channels. You can group digital channels together and display them as a bus, with each bus value displayed in hex, binary or decimal, or as a level (for DAC testing). You can set advanced triggers across both the analog and digital channels. The digital inputs also bring extra power to the serial decoding options. You can decode serial data on all analog and digital channels simultaneously, giving you up to 20 channels of data – for example decoding multiple SPI, I²C, CAN bus, LIN bus and FlexRay signals all at the same time.
